from the Publisher Twin Cities H Troy Anderson PUBLISHER Twin Cities TANDERSON@MDNEWS.COM (612) 396-1455 ELLO, TWIN CITIES health care professionals. Welcome to our September issue of MD News! As the publisher of MD News, I am fortunate to see firsthand the quality physicians, hospitals and specialty clinics providing us second-to-none health care. Every once in a while, one of our feature stories stands out and makes a big impact on me and the readers of MD News. Our cover story this month is one you won't want to miss! This month's cover story focuses on pediatric trans- plants and the issues young patients face that adults do not. We speak with Timothy Pruett, M.D., transplant surgeon at the University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital and Chief of Transplantation at the University of Minnesota Medical Center, along with Srinath Chinnakotla, M.D., pediatric transplant surgeon and Clinical Director of the University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital pediatric transplant program, about their experience, vision and philosophy when it comes to pediatric transplantation. We also discuss rheumatoid arthritis and the importance of exercise therapy for individuals suffering with this ailment. You will want to read the perspective of Thomas Kraemer, M.D., with Physicians' Diagnostics & Rehabilitation, and learn how exercise treatment is helping patients get their lives back to normal. Planning for 2013? Many local hospitals, clinics and health care service providers have started or will be starting to plan their budgets for 2013. Now is the time to see how MD News can help. If you are interested in having MD News feature your physicians, organization or association, or would like to advertise, please give us a call. Thanks for reading!
